Peepholism hard back

[everydayslikesunday]

Hello, every now again, I get the desire to hunt down a hardback version of Jo Slee's PEEPHOLISM: INTO THE ART OF MORRISSEY. But can never find one for sale? As it's mentioned in Passionsjustlikemine, i assume it must exist, but I have never found one. Please could someone confirm I am not wasting my time.

Many thanks in advance.

It does exist.
I have one packed away in storage (0-283-06209-6).
Worth trying/asking:

It does, very occasionally, pop up on Ebay from time to time too.

Edit:
Looks like this:

Thanks FWD, unfortunately i don't subscribe to Facebook, but it's worth knowing the book does exist. I shall just have to be more vigilant

Didn't the softback come out first and then the hardback? Am I remembering that correctly?

August '94, softcover.
September '94, hardcover IIRC.

Peepholism is a really good book if you are interested in the sleeve designs (I'm a graphic designer so it appealed to me!). I remember when it came out it seemed very expensive (£20 or £25 from memory) so I never bought it. Then a few years later I went in a small record shop in Stourbridge and they had a pile of them for sale at £5. I bought a copy then...only wished I had bought a few more! As others have said, it is now rare and sells for a fair amount of money.

Most beautiful book of all the books

Exactly my experience. Ended up buying it cheap in a “remaindered” shop. It’s my favourite Morrissey book and seems to say a lot about him without saying anything much. Wonderful.

I think there is a great PDF scan that pops up on here from time to time.

I brought a perfect copy of the softback many years ago, it is definitely my favourite book in my collection.

I bought Peepholism paperback when it first came out. Much later I bought the hardback.

I have one signed by Jo…I found mine (unsigned) on ABE books about 8yrs ago

 

[everydayslikesunday]

I check the Abe webpage occasionally but never find one for sale. I wouldn't mind if I was after a bargain and was too tight fisted, but absolutely not a single one for sale when I look

Yep I have a copy.

 

[Meeee]

I was foolish enough to sell my hard copy years ago. But it's out there.

I had no idea there was a hardcover version of Peepholism. I bought my paperback version when it came out but I never saw a hardcover on offer down this way. It'd be cool to at least see one though.

I have one. Bought it from Waterstones in Manchester in day of release.
Will post pic later / tomorrow.
It’s a beaut of a thing. Read from over to cover and then read again and again.

With and without dust jacket

Another fave hardback that took an eternity to come to print (due to the design according to Cummins):

You can just make out Cummins embossed here:
